Dates are naturally sweet and full of nutrients. Although not allowed in large quantities for diabetics, it is any day a better option compared to other sugar-laden sweets. Since this recipe contains nuts, it falls easily on the richer side of the sweets spectrum, so indulge in it in small portions and only once in 20 days to satisfy your sweet tooth. Poppy seeds and nuts are rich in protein, calcium etc. And therefore, there is a good dose of nutrients too in store!
